Sprawling 150 miles across northwest Montana and northern Idaho, the Cabinet Mountains are one of the little-known frontal ranges of the Rocky Mountains. Formed of ancient sedimentary rock and sculpted by massive glaciers during the Ice Age, the Cabinets hold inspiring peaks, breathtaking alpine lakes, unspoiled forests, and rare wildlife.

Founder and former publisher of The River Journal newspaper, author Dennis Nicholls worked as a forestry technician and consultant and spent more than 20 years roaming the Cabinets. He died in 2009. Nicholls' guidebooks have since been carried on by his friend and hiking partner Jim Mellen, who is himself an avid hiker and outdoorsman with a love for wild places and their protection.
